Not sure if changing marketing demographics was as much of a "move more units" as it was a "liquidation" tactic to capitalize on "the cultured ones." Probably fairly low production costs for the software, but just enough to move a few remaining consoles instead of scrapping them. What a fun dive into another obscure platform! Thanks, Lady Decade!
I brought my daughter one of those and we lived in Newburgh New York I thought it was the greatest thing in the world for her and I brought her like 90 titles (Sega Pico)
The Playdia - I remember seeing one as a kid and was blown away by the Dragonball FMV game. Was so tempted to ask for one as a Christmas present but decided to hold off to see if it would have a nice RPG library. Glad I did. :)
Some info I like to share. The old toy commercials featured here are from Tokusatsu Hero shows were Hikari Sentai Maskman and Uchuu Keiji Sharivan. The 3 ladies were voice actresses and among them were Rica Fukami known for her dubbing Minako Aino/Sailor Venus of the Sailormoon Anime(OG) series.
I used to love the handheld Zaxon game by Bandai growing up. It had something unique for the time which was a dual phase screen for a different scenario entirely where you had to take out ships in the first part then tanks in the 2nd part. Sadly i sold it to my mate's mum not knowing it would have future worth lol
I was a contractor at Apple during the exact time window of the Pippin. Apple was a total mess at the time, Jobs hadn't come back (or at least wasn't yet being public about it) and accomplishing ANYTHING within the company (at least as a QA tester which is what I was), was essentially impossible. It was all red tape and middle management. Like Dilbert's worst nightmare. We were just trying to ship the Powermac 9600s which were massive beige boxes with zero personality or "cool" factor to them (although personally a an audio/video creator at the time, I thought they were fantastic machines) and Apple was pretty much just a drone factory... show up, put in 8 hours, go home, repeat. It sucked! LOL But it was the perfect time to buy Apple stock at I believe it was $12/share. I bought precisely zero shares. Le sigh.
Exact. Apple wasn't in such a good position during that time period. Pippin was launched in 1996. Steve Jobs returned to "help" (save) Apple in 1997 with a focus on returning profitability to Apple.
Great episode but I won't lie; so excited for the next video. The Apple Pippin is one of the strangest 'consoles' ever which a video game library that is mostly unexplored. Videogame Esoterica has shown some games off and everytime I see one I'm just really fascinated
Except shes completely wrong. I own all of the playdia games and none of the girls take their clothes off. They are voice over artists from Japan that do anime. There are interviews, some singing and short clips but thats it. If there was shed show it blurred out but shows a cooking portion of the vid instead.
I love how you do videos on really obscure consoles. Maybe some day you can to the 1292 Advanced Programmable Video System family of consoles. It's hard to find any good videos about them.
your voice is soothing. you kinda remind me of the lady from the original rainbow 6 that read the missions to you. when i die i want you to narrate my life story.
It wasn't that they didn't care about education in the West. There wasn't the same market because personal computer ownership was far higher. This is the market where a school teacher in 1982 had taught herself to program her Apple ][ and started a company with her husband that made them billionaires by the late 90s. Though there were plenty of dedicated educational devices. Texas Instruments made a wide array of such items going back to the late 70s, along with several other companies.
The seddness in your voice about the lack of likes on your Sega Pico video makes me want to find that video on your content listing and 'Smash that like button!' 🤣😂😆
Well now I can see why I skipped trying to find myself a Playdia ... that controller looks like it would have been a nightmare even if more action-oriented games had been created.
Why are you SOOO VERY CUTE !!! It’s super adorable how when displaying something, she’s looking at the camera, turns and looks at the product, then looks at the camera, then repeats that several times…TOO CUTE !!! ☺️🤗☺️
You look at the controller and can immediately see that they were only thinking about video playback and FMV games. They stupidly limited themselves. They should have added about 3 more buttons. I look forward to seeing your review of the Pippin. I hope you don't trash it though, because it was actually a pretty good idea and ahead of it's time with internet connection. The controller is super freakin' cool looking too. The Pippin could have really been something special, but the price was ridiculous for a game console at that time and the software was incredibly lacking. Such a shame.
I really do like youe content yeah :), but I swear you have edited your footage into to more then just 1 video, but you have talent and PLEASE keep up the good work and information yeah :) :) Thank you L Decade
When it comes to failed consoles, if a console fails in Japan the final market they target when the system is about to fail is the Ecchi market. And of course, there is loads of Japanese people who love their Ecchi games. Mostly they played it on the PC-Engine 32-bit system that was the mid 90s successor to the late 80s PC-Engine 16-bit system. I think that was more successful than anything Bandai could have hoped to achieve. From the 2000s onwards most of the Ecchi games were on the Personal Computer platform because of the dominance of Windows being the computer of choice.
Do a video 📹 on the cancelled red jade handheld console from Ericsson , it was supposed to be released in 2003 to compete against the gameboy advance with similar specs to the DS/PSP or maybe to the tapwave zodiac another handheld console you should make a video on
😂😂😂😂😂 I panicked once when he commented on one of my Instagram posts lol! There's a hilarious story behind that picture but it's a bit long for a UA-cam comment 😂😂😂
Oh that's why the controller is wireless. It's more like a TV remote that didn't realize that until I saw this video. Now bandai teaming up with Apple for that awful Pippin console when you look at it sounds pretty much like a really huge deal, but back then Apple was nowhere close to as big as they are now. I mean Microsoft was so far ahead of them and to be honest they still are ahead of them in the computer market, but still I mean I guess you could say it is kind of a big partnership at the time but not as big as if it were to happen now. Although actually it would never happen now because bandai is part of namco I think
To be honest, Bandai's Playdia was basically the same idea as the founder of Electronic Arts idea, the same person who created the 3DO that would have games that would feel like a movie more than they did a game and the Playdia also had a link to the Phillps CD-i as like the CD-i it has edutainment and point-and-click software. It was basically the Japanese version of the 3DO or Phillps CD-I but it was cheaply made with Inferred and just tossed onto the Japanese market destined to fail. It's no doubt that kinky people would use the Playdia to do dirty stuff because the 3DO had suffered the same problem, because it was open-source, and anyone could develop and release games for the platform including these types of dirty material. They mostly both died out when PlayStation and Sega Saturn hit the scene, but for Playdia especially, it officially died when the Pippin came onto the audience of the US.
Trip Hawkins did not create the 3DO. He was the CEO, and it was already at the working prototype stage before he was joined. Almost all of the 3DO games were proper video games and not FMV games. 3DO was vastly different from a marketing strategy, as the tech was licensed to other companies to manufacture. The comparison to CD-i is much more apt, and I would say also the NEC PC-FX, which had PC Engine-style sprite hardware that sadly wasn't taken advantage of in many games in its mostly FMV-heavy library, which also included lewds.
1:20 lol That was a smart joke (At least I think saying "I didn't know" instead of "I didn't know it" was a lack-of-rhyme joke. You never know what people are thinking)
unfortunately there is too little information on the file system used (video codec) on playdia, I would like to translate the anime on this console. (no emulator either) Too bad. There will be a way to do cool things with the media on this console, (the AOVs other see innedit on playdia) were finally released as cartoons a few years ago.
Yes, but that image of Usagi... A requirement for gracious living.. and not uh found in google image search not that I know first hand.. informative as always that aside!
It makes sense to originally market to children and then to switch to adult content when you realize that the age of consent in Japan is 13! Yes, seriously it's 13.
I don't really think that the Elements Voice Series ever have lewd content I think. Well, at least I tried to look through all of the videos on NicoNico, but no sign of lewd content or pornography.
I knew of the Playdia, but I didn’t know about the coomer games or how they repurposed the unsold units to build those kinetoscopes. I guess you could replace the disc in the latter with one of the former to turn it into a modern take on those old peep show machines. XD
Playdia: Failed so now have to allow adult games to keep it alive before giving up. NEC PC-FX (PC Engine/Turbo Grapx successor): Where have I heard that before? Oh yes we did that too when we failed let adult games on the platform. I always forget the Playdia came before the Pippin I always remember the Pippin or the Wonderswan or Tamogochi but somewhat forget the Playdia. Though the PC-FX has a cool Dinosaur FMV the Playdia doesn't have that but probably some tech demos or other things of its own I guess. It is odd they rely on the Otaku/Hentai Otaku market when they fail though. Hentai games can be good (depends of course of the few researched with gameplay first or fine enough story and scenes as the epilogues that are handled well with enough respectable characters even besides the bizarre direction of them for theming being yes very unfunny or in many cases very creepy and disgusting I won't deny that being a factor yes) or just plan bad and weird (besides the CD-i having western examples of bad adult games some literal slideshows like Plumbers Don't Wear Ties besides other examples on PC from the 2000s or other consoles like the 2600 or I assume other CD based systems that I just haven't heard of and probably for good reason) But I mean why change direction so quickly of audience why did they offer games of both and market it a bit of both/make a redesign for mature audiences. Was the PC crowd where adult games can be really necessary here, sigh. Or make it more kid friendly than media, kids and adult to get too many audiences at once and confuse people what it's actually for. For kids is a fair idea but them wanting too many cakes/pies of sales sources it's a bit silly even though I said other solutions. A kids only platform is a fair idea though at least for the time I'd say.
I couldn't help but notice that the name "Playdia" rhymes with the name of another failed gaming system made by Google in 2019. I thought it was just a curious coincidence, but then you rhymed "Playdia" with "failure" and it all became clear...

Have you heard of Terebikko also bandais older ”console” would love to see video about that
I used to love the handheld Zaxon game by Bandai growing up. It had something unique for the time which was a dual phase screen for a different scenario entirely where you had to take out ships in the first part then tanks in the 2nd part. Sadly i sold it to my mate's mum not knowing it would have future worth lol

I thought THOUGHT that new 'console' was a Pippin! Great little bit of history, lady D!
at 6:56 when it changes the soundtrack to C64 Commando soundtrack, THANK YOU. That soundtrack is legendary and amazing. C64 had the best 8 bit music.
I think your videos and your husband are amazing! I love all the work you put into things in order to make a more than competent informational video.
I can't believe some of these obscure systems existed. Very interesting
You and your hubby are equally entertaining! love yer work!
Any gaming-related endeavor that ends in -dia is going to fail
Have to agree what a bad name for a system
Great episode but I won't lie; so excited for the next video. The Apple Pippin is one of the strangest 'consoles' ever which a video game library that is mostly unexplored. Videogame Esoterica has shown some games off and everytime I see one I'm just really fascinated
Fascinating video, your research efforts are top-notch as usual :)
Research and old footage was great
Great video! Would love to see you do a video on the PC Engine/TurboGrafx!
Great episode! Always come to you for the obscure stuff.
Amazed at the depth of your knowledge of the retro gaming industry. Great video! Very informative and very interesting!

great storytelling as usual. nice details about playdia entertainment system. will watch the next one about pippin.
I don’t normally make comments right at the start of a video im watching, but holy crap, that suitcase console is a mindblower lol
Love your in-depth look behind this console Lady Decade☺️ been watching your videos lately with my friends and loving it 😊
I love indepth and research
I love how you do videos on really obscure consoles. Maybe some day you can to the 1292 Advanced Programmable Video System family of consoles. It's hard to find any good videos about them.

I actually quite enjoyed the PICO review you made as I would always play it in our AMES store and almost even bought one even though I was a teen

I still have one in box I got off eBay in the very early 2000s. Never played it. Keep it around just for kind of a curiosity piece I guess.
wow may be worth something in yrs to come. My Atari Jaquar has gone up so much in value since i bought new in 1994
Bandai is always transforming in every generation. Lots of history, and libraries of titles. Lewd? Definitely have to venture towards unique territory
I accidently discovered your channel and instantly suscibed when saw your video about poliah Pegasus
realy interesting content !!
That was the same video i got recommended to watch
I always had a soft spot for the Playdia.
Though, I still think the Cassio Loopy was cooler and more unique.
Are you sure it wasn't a *HARD* spot?
History isn't history when you are living it.
Woow.... I haven't seen a Pico system in decades. Forgot about that system. My young cousin had it
5:25 E3 of 1993??? I thought E3 didn't begin until 1995...
You’re correct. The first E3 was 1995. 1993 would’ve been the consumer electronics show also known as CES.

@1:20, missed out on another verse: "I'm a poet and I didn't know it."
I remember the Apple Bandai Pippen in 1995 it was so much money almost $1,000 US Dollars
I've always wanted to play those DBZ games!
Hey lady decade, are all of these video games you're actual collection? Do you just get the oddball systems just to make videos for the most part?
